Global health

Hope begins with good health and when we have hope, anything is possible. This explains why at Cam-America Global Initiative for Social Change (CAGISC) our global health programs are an integral part of improving the lives of high risk populations in underserved communities around the world. To be more efficient in what we do, our global health programs are tailored to address major public health concerns which include: malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, vulnerable children and orphans program (VCOP), maternal and child health (MCHP).
